This document provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Aero Pure AP80RVL Bathroom Fan. It is designed to ensure safe and efficient use, offering guidance for both installers and homeowners.
The Aero Pure AP80RVL is a bathroom fan primarily intended for general ventilating use. Its main function is to exhaust air from bathrooms, helping to reduce humidity, odors, and prevent the buildup of moisture that can lead to mold and mildew. The fan is designed for ceiling installation and is suitable for ceilings with up to a 12/12 pitch (45-degree angle). It is important to note that this fan should not be mounted in a wall or used in cooking areas, nor should it be used to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors. The fan is also not intended for use with solid-state speed control devices.
Key usage features include its suitability for use over a tub or shower when connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected branch circuit, enhancing safety in wet environments. The unit must be properly grounded to prevent electric shock. For optimal performance and safety, the fan should be installed at least 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) above the floor. The design allows for the use of a compact fluorescent bulb or LED bulb, although the bulb itself is not included. The bulb housing is adjustable to accommodate different bulb types, and the unit is qualified for use with G24 adaptors and GU24 bulbs.
Installation involves several steps, starting with mounting the fan housing using sliding hanger bars. These bars are designed to fit various framing types, including I-joist, standard joist, and truss construction, allowing for accurate positioning between framing members. Once positioned, the hanger bars are secured to the framing with screws. Ductwork connection is a critical step; the fan requires round ductwork (not included) to vent to the outdoors, either to a roof or wall cap. Insulated flexible duct is recommended for the quietest possible operation, with a 1-3 foot run of rigid duct followed by insulated flexible duct ensuring the quietest performance. All ductwork connections must be sealed with duct tape to ensure they are airtight. Electrical wiring involves connecting 120 Volts AC house wiring to the fan using UL-approved connectors, following the provided wiring diagrams for proper connection of the fan and light components. A round ceiling hole of 6 1/2 inches (165mm) diameter must be cut, and any gaps between the drywall and the fan flange should be sealed with caulk or other sealant to prevent air leakage.
Maintenance features are designed for simplicity and longevity. The motor is permanently lubricated and does not require oiling, reducing the need for regular servicing. For quiet and efficient operation, as well as to maintain an attractive appearance, the grille should be lowered or removed periodically to allow for vacuuming of the interior of the unit with a dusting brush attachment. This helps prevent the accumulation of dust and debris that could impede performance. During installation, it is crucial to keep drywall spray, construction dust, and other foreign materials off the power unit to prevent motor bearing damage and noisy or unbalanced impellers.
The product comes with a warranty covering defects in workmanship and materials for the mechanical and electrical parts for a period of 72 months from the date of purchase. This warranty is extended to the original retail purchaser and requires proof of purchase. The manufacturer will replace any defective mechanical or electrical part under normal household use. However, the warranty does not cover damages resulting from improper installation, shipping, misuse, abuse, accident, alteration, lack of proper care, maintenance, or service by unlicensed electricians. It also excludes labor or transportation charges related to repairs and does not cover fluorescent lamp starters, tubes, or light bulbs. This limited warranty is provided in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied, including those of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. It offers an exclusive remedy and does not cover incidental or consequential damages, though specific legal rights may vary by state.
Replacement installation instructions are also provided, detailing how to remove and replace various components such as the trim ring, screws, lamp base, blower system, and capacitance. This ensures that users can maintain and repair the fan effectively should parts need to be exchanged. The manual emphasizes the importance of reading and saving these instructions, and installers are requested to leave the manual with the homeowner for future reference.
